Proceedings upon disobedience of writ. If the officer or person to whom such writ is directed refuse, after service, to obey the same, the judge shall, upon affidavit, issue an attachment against such person, directed to the sheriff, or, if the sheriff be the defendant, to an elisor, appointed for the purpose by the judge, commanding him forthwith to apprehend such person and bring him immediately before such judge; and upon being so brought he shall be committed to the jail of the county until he make due return to such writ, or be otherwise legally discharged.
